A/N: Hiya peoples!!
Thanks so much for the wonderful reviews!! (:
I love you guys (:
I know SOO many of you guys just want Edward and Bella to make-out already, but it takes time for a couple to blossom. Be patient my fellow readers, because it will happen (:
& also, many of guys want an Edward's POV, and I just can't really do that. I know you guys are probably wondering what goes inside Edward's head all the time, but if I did do a chapter with Edward's POV, it would give too much away.
& many of you who have read my previous stories noticed that I end my stories very short, only like 10 chapters. I don't think that will be the case for this story; it will probably be a little longer than those stories.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything, just the plot.
THANKS to Actress.4life. for coming up with an idea for this chapter! Thanks so much!! (:

Last time on The Foreign Hottie…
"Well then I guess I'm not normal."
Suddenly his teasing expression changed, he was suddenly seriously. He breathed, "No…I guess you're not."
I gulped. I didn't like the expression on his face; it was too serious and all wrong.
I cleared my throat. "We should probably sleep."
Edward smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. "Yeah, we shouldn't stay up all night talking like how we do every night."
I laughed. "Goodnight Edward," I murmured and closed to eyes.
"Sweet dreams Bella," was all I heard before I became unconscious.
xXxXxXx
I woke up the next morning in a… awkward position with Edward.
My right leg was hitched up his waist tightly. He didn't seem to mind though, he just slept peacefully still. My face reddened as I saw the position I was in. I was going to try to untangle my wrapped leg that was around him so securely.
But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was too comfortable the way I was. And besides even if I did try to entangle myself, it would probably wake him up and I wouldn't want to do that.
Instead, I just gawked at his face. I was wide awake now and didn't want to go to back to sleep.
Edward's full lips were slightly open; making him look even more handsome. His bronze colored hair was all messy and all over his forehead. His breathing was even and steady as his chest would rise up and down.
Just the sight of him took my breath away.
The only thing I wanted was for him to open his eyes, so that I could see that pool of green lush. Open your eyes Edward.
As if he had read my mind, Edward suddenly opened his bright emerald eyes. They sparkled brightly in the morning sunlight.
He smiled widely. "Good morning," he mumbled; his voice was still hoarse from sleep.
"Hi," I replied.
Edward stiffened when he saw my leg that was wrapped around him. His smile froze, and a hint of pink crept on his soft cheeks.
I froze as well, not knowing what to do. I nervously stuttered, "Um…should I-I-" I began to pull my leg away, but he quickly grabbed my thigh; not wanting me to untangle myself.
"No, no it's quite alright. I'm comfortable this way."
I waited until my heart calmed down until I took another deep breath and looked into his unblinking eyes again. He was watching me intently, with the same smoldering stare that would make any girl weak in the knees.
"You don't blink at all," I muttered, still staring into his eyes.
He chuckled. "I never lost an eye-blinking contest."
I laughed. "Yeah, we'll see about that."
He laughed louder. "Are you saying that you will beat me? The all time champ?" he teased.
"Of course," I teased back.
He grinned. "Alright," he said. "On the count of three, one…two…three."
My eyes opened as wide as his. We were grinning at each other the whole time. He didn't look like he was struggling at all.
I was doing pretty well until Edward starting making goofy faces, which only made me laugh hysterically.
I blinked when the tears starting spilling out of my eyes.
"You cheated!" I yelled loudly, but laughing at the same time. I started to poke him in the ribs. "That's not fair!"
He smiled jubilantly.
While rubbing my watery eyes, a lock of my hair came across my face. Before I could remove it from my face, Edward swiftly but gently brushed it away.
I stiffened as Edward gazed into my eyes intimately.
He started to lean in toward me, his eyes staring directly at my lips.
It seemed like the room started spinning as Edward's lips were less than an inch from mine. I felt his hot breath on my face, the scent of it made me dizzy.
His eyes were half closed and now his lips were less than a centimeter from mine. And all I could think was: he's going to kiss me! He's going to kiss me!
Then all of the sudden, I heard someone opening my door.
Out of impulse, I forcefully pushed Edward away from me. The abrupt impact took him by surprise that he fell of the bed.
"Bloody-" He gave out a little yelp before hitting the hardwood floor.
"Bella, are you alright?" Charlie asked frantically as he scurried into my room, with a worried expression on his face. His face paled and his eyes widened as he saw that I was on Edward's bed and that my face was as red as a tomato. "What are you doing on Edward's bed?"
"I…um, well I-I," I stuttered. I felt like I was about to vomit any second. And by the look on Charlie's face, it seemed like he was about to too.
Edward stood up from the floor. He was trying his very best to compose himself, but I knew he was just as flustered as me. "She was sleeping on my bed Charlie because there was uh…um a really huge cockroach on her bed."
Charlie raised one eyebrow. "A cockroach?"
Edward and I both nodded. Charlie didn't seem convinced. "So why couldn't you just kill it and dump it in the trash?"
My face paled. I knew we wouldn't be able to get out of this.
"Well we did kill it, it's just that the guts of the cockroach got all over the bed," Edward explained. "And Bella didn't want to sleep in it, so I offered her my bed while I slept on the floor."
"You slept on the floor? For the whole night?" Charlie asked skeptically.
I could tell Edward was a bit calmer. "Yes sir," he replied steadily.
I on the other hand felt like I was about to pass out. Not just because of the whole Charlie situation, but because of what could have happened if Charlie never came and interrupted us.
Just the thought of Edward kissing me made me dizzy.
"Hmm…" Charlie murmured. "Well I'll be downstairs if you two need me."
Edward sighed in relief after Charlie left the room. "Well that was easy," he muttered.
I laughed a humorless laugh. "Not quite, he still didn't seem convinced."
It wouldn't be long before Charlie will tell Renée of what happened. Then sooner or later we'll have the talk.
He sighed again. "I'm going to shower," he mumbled, not meeting my gaze. He seemed…annoyed or even disappointed.
He walked out the room, shutting the door behind him… leaving me by myself.

"Jacob we need to talk," I said sternly to him during gym. Edward was still getting dressed in the boy's locker room and I had time to go talk to Jake privately.
"Oh yeah? About what?" he asked without glancing at me as he tied his shoe laces.
I took a deep breath. "Listen, I'm sorry how things were between us. And I want things to go back to the way they were before. And…I miss you," I confessed.
For a second I thought he would laugh in my face and walk away. But he didn't. He looked up from his shoes, a small smile of lips. "I missed you too Bells."
I sighed in relief, a huge smile on my face. "I really am sorry for everything Jake."
He gave me a sad smile. "I know, and I'm so sorry too. I should never have pushed you to believe that Ed-"
I interrupted him, "It is fine. Let's just forget about it."
He smiled and stood up to give me a hug. I hugged him back tightly, already feeling much better.

"Alright guys, in celebration of Bella's 18th birthday I thought it would be nice to watch her favorite scary movie of all time, Night of the Zombies part 2!" Jacob said cheerfully. "And then afterwards we can open gifts."
I looked at him in disbelief. "Jake, I told you not to get me anything!"
"Oh Bella shut up! I never listen to you and besides you're legal now. This is a huge birthday. You can do whatever you want now," he teased.
I rolled my eyes. "And you guys really didn't have to make a cake though."
Edward chimed with a smile, "We wanted to, and besides I don't think it's much of a cake."
I looked back at the demented chocolate cake Jacob and Edward had made for me. I wouldn't really call it a cake either; it looked more like a pile of crap mashed together. I still appreciated what they did for me though; it must have taken a lot of work considering it was Jake and Edward.
I could only imagine the fuss they had made while baking the cake.
Jacob grinned widely. "So, should we start the movie or what?"
Edward and I nodded and flopped down on the coach next to each other. Jacob flipped off the light switch and sat right in front of the TV, which was his usual seating place.
During the movie I felt some kind of vibe coming from Edward. Every time I would glance at him I would always find him peering at me as well. We would both just smile and look away. I didn't need words to describe my feelings for Edward. And by the look in Edward's eyes I could tell he felt the same way…at least I hoped.
Jacob groaned. "There's no more popcorn," he grumbled. Jacob sluggishly got up from the floor left the dark room. He had paused the movie and I could faintly hear him popping more popcorn into the microwave.
Edward and I didn't say anything for a moment. We both looked straight ahead at the frozen TV screen.
I tiled my head toward Edward.
He also titled his head to look at me.
I smiled. He did the same.
My heart fluttered like it always did when he stared at me that way.
And then I did the craziest thing imaginable. I plunged myself at him, I literally pounced on him. I greedily cupped his face with my hands and crushed my lips to his forcefully.
I honestly don't know what came over me. Maybe it was because I've held it in for so long that desire was ten times stronger.
Edward seemed as eager as I was as his lips moved in sync with mine. His hand dug into my hair. His body pressed against mine.
I felt like my head would explode if I didn't get any oxygen soon. But I didn't care; all I cared about right then was to press myself against him as much as I could, because I didn't want this to end…ever.
"Oh my God!"
Startled by the sudden shriek, I jumped away from Edward. I felt woozy for a second at the quick movement. I squinted at dumbfounded Jacob with the bowl of popcorn in hand.
Jacob's eyes were wide with shock; it was almost funny to see him so stunned.
Jake looked at me, then Edward. Then back to me again.
His lips twitched a bit as if he was trying not to smile. "What was that?"

A/N: OME! They kissed! Finally!!
Sorry for the grammatical mistakes, I had no beta to edit this one.
Well anyway, I would just like you guys to know that this story will get pretty serious…and I don't just mean Edward and Bella's physical relationship, I mean the fact that this story will kind of take another turn.
You guys do realize that Edward is not staying in America forever right? So obviously there will be drama in the next chapters. Yes I promise there will be fluff as fluffy has marshmallow, but it will also be intense…and sad at some parts.
And no, Jacob is not going to be Bella's love interest in this story.
Anyway, please review (:
